Once you are tagged you MUST write a blog entry about your 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names.
Here's what I came up with:
1 using sitemeter to check on who has been reading my blog (and hence, after several months!) this entry. Call it assuaging my ego.
2 the inability to go anywhere without taking a notebook (or at least some manner of recording idle thoughts and observations). More often than not I don't need or use it, but that's not the point.
3 a tendency to talk to myself, to run ideas through, so long as there is nobody close enough to hear.
4 more an observation than a habit: I'm far less excited, motivated and enthused by/with my faith now that it's "work" than when it absorbed much of my "hobby" time. Strange but true. (Or to put it another way, "now, I have a life!" or even more cynically, "now I mix with far more non-Christians and have far more non-Christian friends" - which on the whole has to be positive.)
5 if ever GLW starts showing interest in my hobbies obsessions, CDs, DVD's, etc etc I have a nasty tendency to lose most of the interest (especially noticeable with Babylon 5 and Serenity)
6 on the rare occasions that I read (as opposed to writing) I rarely finish the book. My life is filled with books filled with bookmarks and memories of the last attempt.
Ten years or more of Higher Education, 7 years of Ordained Ministry in the Church of England... and now I'm managing to combine both, parish priest and university chaplain. It's a wonderful life. (Oh yes it is!)
